SATURDAY---Praise God for the weather holding off for us at Rochelle Manor this past Saturday! We teamed up with Bethesda Baptist to minister to and bless the people of this community. I appreciate Pastor Jacob, Pastor JR, Marcia Elliott, Clint McCullen and the rest of the crew at Bethesda Baptist coming out to serve and minister. It was also good to work with the people of Flat Rock Baptist Church in Hendersonville, NC. who came in to team up with Bethesda for this outreach.
We had a very good crowd for the way the weather was looking. We have out 14 color tv's, clothes, bedding, food, toys, etc. We do this of course as a way to share the GOspel and to build relationships with the community. This has been a place of a number of shootings and a couple deaths since I have been here. All of this just opens the door for us to go in whatever the situation and conditions in the future. They never forget when their personal needs are met through ministry!
It is such a blessing to be able to bless the less fortunate little ones!!! Isn't she cute?
It was a blessing to have Pastor Pedro of Iglesia Evangelica "Comunidades de Formacion Cristiana" out there with us to be able to minister to the large Hispanic population that resides there. Pastor Pedro's church is located at 5516 Roxboro Rd. They share the building with Christian Assembly Church.

The youth were passing out sheet sets that were inside a pillow case. They walked throughout the area blessing people with them.
SUNDAY ---- It was a huge blessing for us to be asked by New Hope Church of Durham to be part of their 10 year Anniversary Celebration. Part of the day was their people bringing in coats to donate which all went to us. It was so cold that morning. In the 30's with a wind and mist!! I about froze to death!! I kept thinking about the streets of Chicago and how I was ever able to handle wind chill factors of 40-50 below under expressways??? My blood has definitely thinned out!!!
We stuffed the van full from the front seats all the way back. I would guess that we have a couple hundred coats. Thank you Pastor Benji and the people of New Hope Church of Durham and the surrounding areas.
MONDAY----Three happy guys getting ready to go and eat at McDonald's. I had just got done setting them up with coats. Michael (front) is an extreme alcoholic. He told me today that he really needs to get his life right with Jesus. He has to bring me a signed bulletin from Pastor Fitzpatrick at One Love Ministries to continue getting food from this ministry. Ricky (back left) is supposed to be going in Durham Access to get dried out then will do a bit of time then he wants me to disciple him which I am glad to do. The hispanic gentleman is homeless and lives in the woods. I am going to be hooking him up with another homeless hispanic that is on fire for Jesus at a different camp.
